Gano katagal po maggrant after magsubmit ng additional docs na required?

Depends kung gano kabilis makita ulit ng CO. May nakikita ako dito took 6 months. Pinaka maaga naman after a day or 2 may grant na after mahingi ng additional doc/s

I really need the grant this month. Naredundant ako while on a 482 working visa and my 60 days will end sa 1st week ng february. I heard di daw gagana ang bridging visa A since nacancel ang previous visa.

You can probably apply another visa. Let's say Student Visa as a viable option na mabilis mong makukuha. Then try to apply for another 482 sa ibang companies. Depende kung ano mauuna. All the best. Inactive Case Officers now, maaring sa mga medical occupations lang priority nila but we'll never know. God bless, hope everything works out for you.

Hi. Naglodge po kami last March 2022 ng visa. Frinontload ko po yung PCC (NBI Clearance) kasi valid pa naman yung current ko. Pero yung NBI clearance ko ay expiring na this August 2022. Pwede po ba mag renew sa August ng new NBI clearance and upload sa Immiaccount without waiting for CO contact? Salamat po sa sasagot.

Yes, you can renew your NBI clearance even without CO contact. That way pag review ng CO and saw na valid lahat ng requirements mo, mas mabilis yung processing.

Just be mindful that police as well as medical clearances are time sensitive documents which are usually valid for 12 months. The date of entry is usually determined by the expiry date of these documents (which ever comes first). The problem with this is if these documents are provided too early, the applicant will have little time period to prepare for the big move…ie if police or medical certificate is 6 months old when visa is granted then the visa holder wI’ll only have approx 6 months left to enter Australia. With the cases we’ve handled, we usually wait for the case officer to request these documents as this signals that the application will soon be decided on. This way, applicants won’t need to spend another fees re-doing the police and medical certificates. Also, when the visa is granted, the visa holder has about a year deadline to enter Australia, giving him/her ample time to prepare for the move ie work longer to save more, look for job prospects in Australia, etc.

The date of entry is usually determined by the expiry date of these documents (which ever comes first).

So ibig sabihin yung mga nagrant after December 14, kailangan fresh yung medical and police clearance before entry sa Australia? So ibig sabihin ba,
Na case officer contact sa December 15, then provide docs police and medical clearance, you have 28 days.
Then pagkaprovide niya yung document sa January 1, Then maaprove ang visa niya ng August 2022, ang remaining time remaining ay up to December 2022 para magentry?
Lahat na dumating dito sa AU after 14 December 2021, expired na ang police clearance and medical clearance after grant noong 2019, 2020, 2021 before making first entry.

I think you’re referring to those who couldn’t enter due to pandemic. There were exceptions during this time.

Just an excerpt from the professional library MARA agents adhere to…I can’t send you the link as this is a paid subscription to immigration legislations and policies

15.1 Determining the date of proposed travel
Where there are exceptional and compelling circumstances which have prevented the visa holder from complying with the 8504 condition and the visa is not cancelled, officers will need to provide the visa holder with a letter to facilitate travel that will include the date of proposed travel.

To determine the proposed date of travel officers are to consider the validity of health and character clearances on file. Officers should also consider any extension of the initial entry date as outlined in PAM3: GenGuide B - Non-humanitarian migration (offshore & onshore) Visa application and related procedures.

———-end of excerpt

The department always considers validity of police and health checks whether at visa grant or after….and as mentioned there were exceptions during the pandemic when borders were shut.

Point here is - it is always advisable to wait for the case officer to request for these documents if you’re applying from offshore. Nothing stops an applicant from providing these ahead but he/she will be responsible for the extra financial costs if the Department requests to submit new ones.

Hope this clarifies things for you.
